An Even Bigger Bet

Part of my bullish view of AI is that we have limited ourselves to a pretty small set of problems because those are the problems our tools let us fix.

We balance spreadsheets. We do logistics. We build companies around ERPs. We connect systems. We make the existing process a little better.

All of that has been useful. It has built a lot of businesses.

But with these new tools, and with people seriously thinking about how to use them, we can start working on bigger things.

We can help researchers find better ways to treat disease. We can work toward better energy solutions. We can improve manufacturing. We can help make space more accessible. We can improve quality of life. We can build businesses around passions that were never practical before.

We can also get better context with each other.

A CEO has always had an assistant who knows how they work, keeps track of what matters, handles the drudgery, and helps them stay focused.

We may all be able to have something like that.

Not just a chatbot. An assistant that knows us well enough to help us live and work better.

That is what excites me.

It is not just that we will build software faster. It is that we will have more people, more time, and more capability to work on the things we have not been able to work on before.

That's an even bigger bet.
